Abstract

For every $n\in\mathbb N$, we construct a finite metric subspace $M_n$ of $\ell_\infty^n$ such that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal F(M_n)$ contains a linear isometric copy of $\ell_\infty^n$. This answers a question posed by Khan, Mim, and Ostrovskii, who obtained examples in dimensions three and four. As a consequence, the finite-dimensional real Banach spaces that admit a linear isometric embedding into a Lipschitz-free space over a finite metric space are precisely the polyhedral spaces.

Lipschitz-free spaces are strongly unique preduals

We prove that the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(M)$ is the strongly unique isometric predual of $\mathrm{Lip}_0(M)$ for every metric space $M$, solving a longstanding open problem of Weaver. The result is proved first for length metric spaces by analyzing the behavior of Lipschitz functions on paths in $M$ and the...

Continuity of Magnitude at Finite Subsets of $\ell_1^N$

Magnitude is an isometric invariant of metric spaces introduced by Leinster in 2011. It is nowhere continuous on the Gromov--Hausdorff space of finite metric spaces, however, positive continuity results do exist if we restrict the ambient space. In this paper, we prove that magnitude is continuous at every finite subse...

Uniformly Lipschitz Hyperbolic Group Actions on $\ell^p$

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated hyperbolic group, and let $Q$ denote the conformal dimension of its Gromov boundary $\partial\Gamma$. We prove that for every $p<\frac{Q}{Q-1}$, the group $\Gamma$ admits a proper uniformly Lipschitz affine action on $\ell^p$ with compression exponent $1/p$. The $\ell^p$-space hosti...

On the equivalence of Sobolev norms in infinite dimensions

We prove dimension-free higher-order Sobolev norm estimates on open convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to Gaussian measure and use them to obtain norm equivalence on nonempty open convex subsets of $\ell^2$ endowed with a nondegenerate Gaussian measure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such eq...

Dimension-free estimates for full discrete maximal functions associated with Euclidean balls and spheres

We prove that the full discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated with Euclidean balls satisfies dimension-free bounds on $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ for every $1<p<\infty$. We also establish analogous dimension-free bounds for the full discrete spherical maximal operator when $d\geq 5$ and $2\leq p<\infty$. The m...

Componentwise rigidity of holomorphic isometric maps from the complex unit ball to bounded symmetric domains

We study holomorphic isometric maps $F=(F_1,\cdots,F_m)$ from the complex unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$, $n\geq2$, to a product of irreducible bounded symmetric domains $\Omega_1\times\cdots\times\Omega_m,$ equipped with positive constant multiples of their canonical K\"ahler--Einstein metrics. We prove that every nonconsta...
